Difference Between Licence and Source Code versions of WHMCS modules - whmcsservices - 10-13-2017
We get a lot of questions about the difference between Licence and Source code versions of our modules, so we would just like to clear things up.
Both versions are exactley the same code and features, there is never a difference between features. Licence Version check our licensing system which checks the license against our database and the source code dont
The Licence version is encoded with ioncube just like WHMCS is, meaning the php files cannot be read or changed (any template files included are always open source).
The Source code version is NOT encoded with ioncube and can be installed on any number of domains provided you (your company) own (s) them. You are not allowed to sell or give away the module to others.
Both versions are also always released at the same time.
